LOUISVILLE, KY. - The November NAC is still going strong on day three, as fencers take to the strip to battle for six more gold medals.
For Cadet Women’s gold medalist, Zhihe Tie (SoCAL Fencing Center), who claimed two gold medals in back-to-back days, said she prepared by “eating well, sleeping well,” and so she came ready to “fence well.”
She said she felt “really good, and so excited” to be bringing home gold in two events. She is looking forward to traveling more, and just continue to fence in more tournaments,
Luxi Guo (Yang Fencing Club), Y-14 Women’s Epee gold medalist said “It feels really great. And honestly, I'm just really grateful that I've come so far.”
When looking back on her gold medal match she said “I never really gotten a gold medal before. I'm like, oh, wait, finally. But during the bout, I was kind of nervous, kind of not nervous, because I feel like I had the situation under control.”
The moment he claimed a second gold medal this weekend, Christopher Guffey (Globus Fencing Academy) said, “Obviously, it feels great. That goes without saying.” Guffey also claimed gold in the cadet men’s saber team event that happened on Saturday.
Guffey described the difference between the two events and what he had to do to prepare as “I think that the individual event is just like, it's more of a marathon, you know, you gotta get through the whole day, whereas in teams, like each little each leg that you fence, it's just a sprint.”
